Mom, Please Love Me Again

At ten, Stella is branded a liar by a so-called truth-detecting wristband, and from that moment on her mother believes the device over her own daughter. While Emma keeps winning their mother’s favor, Stella endures years of silent emotional cruelty. On a bitter winter night, she dies alone in her room. Only after her death does the terrible truth come to light, leaving the family shattered by guilt and regret. Yet Stella is granted another life, reborn as Grace Sterling in a warm, loving home. As she recovers from the pain of her past, she discovers what love, trust, and freedom truly feel like.
